My Doll Haven: Doll-Zone

Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Little Boys and Puppy Dog Tales

Here are my little boys, they call themselves the Thunderbird Gang, heaven only knows why.

On the left we have Raven (IpleHouse BID Serca ~ Special Real Skin).

Raven is a very keen sportsman and footballer.

When he is older, he hopes to play football professionally and win a huge trophy.

With all his enthusiastic ambition, I have no doubt he'll succeed.

In the middle is Finch (Doll-Zone Choco ~ White Skin).

Finch is a shy boy, who adores animals and hopes to become a veterinarian.
He loves dogs in particular and somehow manages to find all the strays.
He's constantly telling me "this one just followed me home", expecting me to believe him.
We find homes for most of them, but when Finch brought Gilbert home we allowed him to stay.

And on the right, riding Gina's Vesper, is Wren (IpleHouse BID Peekaboo ~ Light Brown Skin).
Wren is a little on the quiet side and a bit of a nerd, who is studying hard to become an excellent mathematician.
Wren also has a natural curiosity that sometimes gets him into trouble.
His goal in life is to become a nuclear scientist.

Finch is my favourite of the three, possibly because he has a kind heart and a soft spot for animals.

Here he is speaking with Emmaline, (DollsBeWithYou Pomegranate ~ Normal Skin) who also loves animals.

She is the only girl who is allowed to pat Gilbert. Finch is quite possessive with his little dog, after all Gilbert is his best friend in all the world and is his constant companion.

All four are fully jointed Asian Ball Jointed Dolls, which are 26cm (10.24 inches) tall.

Raven and Finch arrived mid 2014, then Wren arrived two years later.

The Thunderbird Gang

The boys have been up to their antics again, this time they pinched Gina's scooter! Who would have thought these boys could be so naughty, they all look so innocent. :)

Verity

My DollZone Minas head arrived yesterday from Dolk, but missing any certificates and proper box, which made me wonder if she really was the genuine article. Never the less, I am pleased with the head and the face-up, though I shall be changing the eyes and wig at some point.

Verity will not be staying on this body either, I was impatient to see how this head fitted on Nadia's Luts Delf body. The neck size was quite a good fit, but the colour match of the Dollzone Yellow skin with Luts Real Skin Normal is way off, so I went looking at the resins I had on hand and am considering using an Impldoll Young Girl body (46cm tall) in Real skin. It is not perfect, but it isn't a bad match either and it's a reasonable price.

Having never been a fan of large breasted dolls, I think on the Young Girl body she will make a fine younger steampunk sister for Felicity, who is almost ready to be shown.

Well that's about all my dolly news for now. Hope you are all well and happy, I will now go catch up with reading all your blogs. :)
